Suppose captain would have done so in order to evacuate the crew... what chances would have they had in such a sea?
@CAW
That depends upon the water temp and the chances they have of getting a distress call out.

I've seen reposted by several sources what claims to be an analysis by Bruce Rule of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization sonar data. Not found the original source though. he does post at this site though:

A very sad and sobering, albeit unconfirmed, account of what is believed to have occurred in the final moments of the loss of the ARA SAN JUAN will be found at:

Incidentally, for the benefit of those conjecturing on the relative calm to be found when a submarine dives to avoid extreme surface conditions, I have experienced a 26 degree role to either side in a nuclear submarine - at 500 feet keel depth. I can't say where or when, but I was certainly very glad not to be nearer the surface.

Put simply, dead submarines don't make any noise, and they tend to sit on the seabed, both of which make them hard to spot.
They'll probably locate it using side-scan sonar, but that takes time to set up, and at this stage there seems little need for urgency.
Edit: The other point is that if you're still hoping to rescue people, you're going to focus your efforts on looking for a live submarine, even if that decreases the chance of finding a dead one.

Did we ever have a Nimrod on the Falklands? Operated from Ascension during the war in 82.
Wouldn't really help very much now that it's lying on the bottom unless very shallow water and you knew where to search.

And if you did have the capability to locate a dead submarine on the seabed, at a depth of at least 400m, from an aircraft, I doubt you'd want the rest of the World to know about it...
